Hello Friends,
It was swampy thanks to the 1.8 metre 0900 high tide. But wind was light and it was beautiful and clean. Waves ranged from knee high to chest plus depending on the bank and the beach. Manly probably wasn’t seeing much above the waist high mark, but Curly was picking up shoulder plus sets. Dee Why was sort of in between. Swell was coming from 150° out at sea, where it was 1.2 metres at 10 seconds. Water is on 22C.
Get down there if you can!
